Sinn Féin - On Your Side

Doherty endorses Presidential voting campaign

Sinn Féin Vice President Pat Doherty MP has endorsed the campaign being
launched on Saturday by Ógra Shinn Féin demanding voting rights in the Irish
Presidential election for Irish citizens living in the Six Counties.

Mr Doherty said:

" Sinn Féin has being campaigning for many years for participation for Irish
citizens in the six counties in the political life of the Irish nation. This
includes access and voting rights for northern political representatives in
the Óireachtas, passport rights and voting rights in Presidential elections.

"I wish to endorse the nation wide campaign being launched in Dublin
tomorrow by Ógra Shinn Féin demanding the right of Irish citizens in the Six
Counties to vote in the next Presidential election.

"The natural outworking of the Good Friday Agreement is the creation of an
island wide approach to politics. This is the way forward and part of this
is the extension of voting rights and democratic participation to Irish
citizens in the North." ENDS
